5 THE RIDGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE RIDGE sales from August 2002 and November 2016 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2002 sale was for 181% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 181% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE RIDGE be worth now?

5 THE RIDGE might now be worth an estimated £594,014.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.7%, between November 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Swansea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE RIDGE of £405,000 on 8th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £594,014 over the seven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE RIDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE RIDGE has not materially changed since November 2016.
